A boundary value problem and an initial-boundary value problems are considered for a linear functional differential equation of point type. A suitable scale of functional spaces is introduced and existence theorems for solutions are stated in terms of this scale, in a form analogous to Noether's theorem. A key fact is established for the initial boundary value problem: the space of classical solutions of the adjoint equation must be extended to include impulsive solutions. A test for the pointwise completeness of solutions is obtained. The results presented are based on a formalism developed by the author for this type of equation. Bibliography: 7 titles.
